A word from Ashley, the 'Barbie in a Box' costume creator:

I am barbie in a box. I took a wardrobe box from uhaul. I cut it in half because it was to deep. Then i taped the 2 pieces together with a lot of tape.i then cut a hole in the shape of a barbie box. I then wrapped the box in pink wrapping paper. I used shiny wrapping paper to put on the back. I cut the circle mattel sign out of red poster board. Then i cut out my white letters with white poster board. I drew the barbie letter on white poster board and put it on the box with hot glue. I put holes in the back of the box and ran string through it for the straps to hold my costume up. I put a dress on and wig that i had laying around the house.
